Using the Paper Tape
Use the paper tape to attach media to the auto take-up reel core. This allows the media to "self-center,"
preventing skew and head strike issues. You can use the paper tape included with the printer or any paper
tape that resists tearing and stretching.
Note: Epson recommends using a roll core that is wider than the media you are printing on. This may help keep
the edges of the media on the core as it is rolled up.
After media is loaded in the printer, do the following:
1.
Grasp the center of the media edge and pull it straight down.
•
Pull the media down until the leading edge reaches the upper label on the after heater.
•
Cut off about 24 inches (60 cm) of paper tape and attach it to the media using adhesive tape.
2.
Trim the corners of the media, leaving a straight section at the center about 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20
3.
cm) wide.
4-8 in. (10-20 cm)
